 * Keep. The article only lacked sources, but the subject is a "Model of Excellence" public school according to the Philippines' Department of Education here.  It is also the first MOE school to be funded by a private company here and one of the few public schools in the Philippines to have access on electronic media here.

 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:37, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep The article, given precedents with other Philippine school articles (such as Amaya School of Home Industries and Amparo High School) and even with school-related AFDs in general, is already inherently notable from my point of view.  Philippine school articles, whether elementary or secondary, are listed for AFD usually because they are not notable outside the Philippines (or that schools in general are not always notable), but given that the basis for AFD would most likely be the content of the article (the locale and who the school is named after) and/or the lack of sources, I'd say that this article only needs a good bit of expansion.  In addition to consensus over these types of articles, the school, as cited by Starczamora, has independent sources which back up its notability. --Sky Harbor (talk) 17:02, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree. Those nominators only use the non-notability tag because subjects like these are not "Anglo-oriented", which violates WP:BIAS. Starczamora (talk) 04:49, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. We keep saying "usually because they are not notable outside the Philippines". Is this school even notable inside the Philippines? Or is it even notable within Metro Manila? -- Howard  the   Duck  14:57, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Apparently you didn't read the previous comments, Howard. It is a DepEd-recognized model of excellence school and the first MoE school to be partially privately-funded (the position on electronic media access is questionable given the fast pace of adding computer labs in public schools).  It has sufficient outside references that allow it to merit its own article.  Then again, this is my POV. --Sky Harbor (talk) 07:52, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep after notability established by User:Starczamora. The sources must be added to the page, though. TerriersFan (talk) 20:00, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
